Gas Per Km Formula:
From: | To: |
The Gas Per Km calculation converts standard fuel consumption (L/100km) to fuel used per kilometer (L/km). This helps travelers understand their exact fuel cost per kilometer driven.
The calculator uses the simple formula:
Where:
Explanation: Dividing by 100 converts the per-100km measurement to a per-km measurement.
Details: Knowing your exact fuel consumption per kilometer helps with trip budgeting, cost comparisons between vehicles, and understanding the impact of driving habits on fuel efficiency.
Tips: Enter your vehicle's fuel consumption in L/100km (found in your owner's manual or from recent fill-up calculations). The value must be greater than 0.
Q1: Where can I find my car's fuel consumption?
A: Check your vehicle's manual, onboard computer (if equipped), or calculate it by dividing liters used by kilometers driven (then multiply by 100 for L/100km).
Q2: What's a good gas per km value?
A: Lower is better. Typical values range from 0.06-0.12 L/km (6-12 L/100km) for most passenger vehicles.
Q3: Does this work for electric vehicles?
A: No, this is for gasoline/diesel vehicles. For EVs, you'd calculate kWh per km instead.
Q4: How can I improve my gas per km?
A: Maintain proper tire pressure, reduce excess weight, avoid aggressive driving, and keep up with vehicle maintenance.
Q5: Why calculate per km instead of per 100km?
A: Per km is more useful for calculating costs of specific trips or comparing short-distance driving options.
